Mikhah the Morashti prophesied in the days of Chizkiyahu king of Yehudah; and he spoke to all the people of Yehudah, saying, Thus says the LORD of Armies: Tziyon shall be plowed as a field, and Yerushalayim shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
Thus says the LORD: Yet again there shall be heard in this place, about which you say, It is waste, without man and without animal, even in the cities of Yehudah, and in the streets of Yerushalayim, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without animal,
